Compaq Presario 900 Notebook no video

I have a Compaq Presario 900 Notebook, the video does not work on it,
Even when plugging into a external montitor the external monitor says
no signal.
Is this most likely the video card ? and is it replaceable ?

In the notebooks, the video card is normally an intergral part of the mother
board. If you do not see any video during the post start-up, this may be a
mother board failure in general, or the video section itself. This is hard
to determine without doing the proper diagnostics.

If there is a fault on the mother board in a notebook and it is out of
warranty, the cost of servicing it may not be feasible.

Pull the hard-drive, load it into another laptop, save to removable disk
what data you have to have.

Boot to safe mode. No lights on the monitor is a very bad sign. I've
never seen a PCMCIA video card for a laptop... Still haven't.

Yer in for a world of hurt when a video card goes bad in a laptop. In
laptops, most video cards are built irretrievably into the mainboard and
are not replaceable by the average person, or normally, ANY person.

ANYTHING that can plug into a computer talks, though. Sometimes
requires a translator to transfer information. Occasionally requires
a method of sight. Good luck.
